Here’s a classic Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy recipe that’s hearty and comforting:
Ingredients (serves 4)
For the Hamburger Steaks:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Onion Gravy:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Hamburger Steaks:
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties.
- Cook Steaks:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the patties on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- Make Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet, add butter. Sauté sliced onions until soft and golden brown (about 5–7 minutes).
- Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Combine & Serve:
- Return hamburger steaks to the gravy. Simmer for 5–10 minutes to heat through and absorb flavors.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
✅ Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
